Or at least I think it was, looked like him.
Which now means I can call ‘house’ on The Smiths bingo!
Morrissey at Albert Hall and Birmingham MEN
Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce in the back room of The Windmill in Brixton 5 years ago supporting some odd singer from Manchester
And now Johnny Marr…

Made my evening anyway 🙂

In the top three pluckers of all time in my view. Hale an old stomping ground as used to go to BTH school only a hop away.

Hale is grade A1 celeb spotting territory. In the space of 15 mins I saw Kevin Keegan, Benni McCarthy (footballer) and Lip from Shameless. Kevin Webster from Corrie is too easy to spot as is Jenny Powell.

Wilmslow comes a close second in the Cheshire C-list celeb spotting league.

I made Johnny Marr’s curtains for their London Pad. They were living in Dunham Massey at the time.

Just visit Handforth Dean/John Lewis Cheadle Royal late at night, all the selbs are out shopping.

Bloke I know once saw Kate Humble in Waitrose.

I saw Phil Oakey in Sainsbury’s the other day. He was buying some crisps.

I saw Keith Emerson in a lake in Palma.

I saw someone important yesterday. It’s a bloke you’ve nevr heard of who actually raises money for charities so they can help people, rather than a “sleb”

sorry, dunno what came over me there

Surely Morrissey doesn’t count at the NEC and Albert Hall, unless he wasn’t on stage of course.

The man in action.

Saw Caroline Quentin on Deansgate in Manchester.

Livin’ the dream.

I saw Ryan Giggs at Old Trafford once, funnily enough he was with a few other celebrity mates too…
Haven’t seen Morrissey a couple of time though as the twunt cancelled late. 👿

I am in awe at Bunnyhop’s (above) curtain-making for Johnny Marr. Can’t top that!

I rode past Kate Humble on a canal near Brecon last year. She did say hello.

And I think I saw Saddam Hussein at a bus stop a couple of months ago, but I could have been mistaken. He did have a moustache.

Saw Norman Wisdom shopping in M&S. Followed him on CCTV for over an hour waiting for a comedy “Mr Grimsdale” moment that didnt happen.

Is it wrong that I had to google the name Johnny Marr to find out who you are talking about?

I nearly ran over Mark Bosnich on my bike once. The bike was a 97 GT Timberline with yellow Indy SLs that had 73mm of (at the time) lovely elastomer travel. I do miss that bike.

my old man used to work in M&S and NW used to shop regular and often did the Mr.Grimsdale moment for the till girls!

Was it in Cardiff? He had a thing for fish fingers.

no mate, it was Cwmbran when he lived in Abergavenny.

Surbiton station, Tuesday evening…

I saw Johnny Marr just off Oldham Street in the town centre, he was with a bloke who looked just like him, but fatter. maybe his cousin or brother or something.

He was dead small.
